The fallen movie exec is facing charges related to the claim by Lucia Evans that Weinstein forced her into performing oral sex on him in 2004, sources told the paper.

Weinstein has been accused by several women of either pressuring or forcing them into sex acts or acting in sexually inappropriate ways.

Benjamin Brafman, a lawyer for Weinstein, declined to comment on Thursday’s report.

More than 70 women have accused the co-founder of the Miramax studio and The Weinstein Co with sexual misconduct including rape, allegations that gave rise to the #MeToo movement in which hundreds of women have publicly accused powerful men in business, government and entertainment.

The billionaire owner of soccer team Chelsea FC, Roman Abramovich, will become an Israeli citizen on Thursday, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Abramovich, who is Russian, has been living in the United Kingdom on a recently expired visa— allegedly a possible cause of his move to Israel. Reportedly, authorities would not renew his work visa, as tensions rose between Russia and the UK following a Russian intelligence officer who acted as a double agent for UK’s intelligence services being poisoned.

The businessman acquired the Chelsea club in 2003. He recently headed the team’s “Say No To Antisemitism” campaign and has been known to financially support Israel over the past two decades, including a $30 million donation to Tel Aviv University in 2015.

(JTA) — Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested an upcoming visit to Israel by the Philadelphia Orchestra by disrupting its farewell performance of “Tosca.”

About 60 demonstrators blocked traffic and two of them entered the downtown Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, leading to the Saturday night concert being halted for 10 minutes, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

According to the report, music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin slammed his baton on the podium and walked off the stage followed by some of the musicians. The two demonstrators were forcibly removed from the hall.

“We live in an age where dissent is important. It matters. It should be heard. But the sanctity of the concert hall should be respected,” the orchestra’s interim co-president, Matthew Loden, told the crowd before the performance resumed, according to the newspaper.

The orchestra left Thursday for a two-week trip to Europe and Israel, where it is scheduled to perform in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem from June 3 to 5.

(JTA) — A New York teen will serve six months in jail and do 150 hours of community service for vandalizing a local Jewish cemetery.

Eric Carbonaro, 19, of Warwick, was sentenced Wednesday in Orange County Court for the October 2016 incident and apologized during the hearing. He had pleaded guilty in February to two charges, including one that involved a hate crime.

Carbonaro spray-painted the wall of the Beth Shalom Cemetery in Warwick, an upstate town about 50 miles from New York City, with anti-Semitic graffiti including swastikas, “Heil Hitler” and Nazi SS symbols. Carbonaro deleted photos and other information about the vandalism from the phones of two unnamed co-conspirators.

Dozens of members of the Temple Beth Shalom congregation attended the sentencing hearing, according to local reports, and several spoke in court.

At the hearing, Carbonaro said “I’m deeply sorry to the Jewish community and the community as a whole.”

His attorney, Alex Smith, said he had contacted Holocaust education centers on behalf of Carbonaro and they indicated a willingness to teach the teen.

(JTA) — The husband of a prominent Jewish pediatrician who was stabbed in her suburban New York home has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Julius Reich, 64, offered his plea on Tuesday in the killing of Dr. Robin Goldman, Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino Jr. announced.

Goldman’s adult children agreed to the plea bargain, saying they wanted to avoid a traumatic trial and to “move forward and bring finality to a horrific situation,” the prosecutor said in a statement.

Reich, a tax specialist, reportedly will be sentenced to 20 years in prison.

He stabbed his wife in the chest, stomach and back in January 2016 in the shower of the Scarsdale home that they were still sharing despite divorce proceedings. Reich called 911 to report the crime and was arrested at the scene.

Reich is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 15.

He worked for WeiserMazars after being employed previously by the international firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. He had petitioned for divorce in 2015.
